Let them eat cake?

This is pretty amazing to me:

A 10-year-old Florida girl faces felony weapons charges after bringing a small steak knife to school to cut up her lunch, according to a report on WFTV.com.

Thinking this story was blown out of proportion or something, I read on:

“She did not use it inappropriately. She did not threaten anyone with it. She didn’t pull it out and brandish it. Nothing of that nature,” explained Marion County School Spokesman Kevin Christian, who added that it made no difference what the knife was being used for, they had no choice but to call police.

“Anytime there’s a weapon on campus, yes, we have to report it and we aggressively report it because we don’t want to take any chances, regardless,” Christian said.

How do they suppose kids eat meat?  I did some research and came up empty.  However, I guess we can assume they feed them a staple of non-meat products such as pizza and cereal?  I have no clue.  There’s no answers at the Marion County Schoool District site.

I understand the caution.  What I don’t understand is the intolerance.
